Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy early Anglo-Saxon cruciform brooch, 47mm in length and 28mm in width. The head plate has a rectangular central panel defined by small oval incisions, one inside another. The knobs are integral and worn, although all three are present. The bow is curving and 17mm in length, and faceted at both of its ends. Below the bow the flat plate is decorated with transverse grooves and an incised cross shape. The rest of the foot is missing due to an old break. It seems likely from the appearance of the rest of the brooch that the missing terminal would have been in the shape of a horse's head.
On the back face the remains of the pin loop can be seen , with corroded iron within it. What is left of the catchplate can also be seen. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 410
